Hi Dear , As per your query your husband has been coughing and chocking sinsce dinner and feeling of something stuck in throat . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to a condition known as acid reflux as you mention in query . In this condition the acidic content of stomach come upwards due to esophagus sphincter dysfunction .. This acidic content irritate the lining of throat and cause chocking and coughing sensation along with feeling of domething stuck in throat . I would suggest you to ask hime to elevate head while laying down , avoid spicy and heavy meal specially at night , eat small and ferquent meals and take antacid after every meal . Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination and rule out causes like sore throat . Doctor may order certain test like endoscopy or esophegus and X-ray of upper digestive track . Doctor may prescribe ranitidine or omeprazole along with sedative and drug like sucralfate for healing of throat . Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
